The Acumatica Ecosystem is the world of Acumatica, which consists of Acumatica, the Acumatica OEMs using Acumatica ERP under their own brand, Acumatica Independent Software Vendors (ISV), Acumatica partners, and Acumatica customers.

Acumatica Independent Software (ISV) Vendors
​
Acumatica has about 300 Independent Software Vendors (ISV) which developed applications that fully integrate with the Acumatica ERP Foundation. The ISV developers are required to use the Acumatica xRP Development Platform and its development standards such as REST APIs and webservices developed by Acumatica. If the ISV application passed the ISV application certification test, then the ISV app is Acumatica certified and should be very steady. In addition the ISV application is tested with customers, and if it passes the customer test, it will be customer certified. Again this leads to the high quality of Acumatica ISV applications.
​
A list of ISV applications can be seen here. They add functionality and features to the Acumatica ERP Foundation Suites and Modules. In this way a customer in a specific industry will get a complete ERP offer for its company's needs.​
